The Circuit Playground Express Base Kit is now available through 4-H! @4H
We are happy to announce that the Circuit Playground Express Base Kit can now be found at 4-H! Check it out here!
If you aren’t familiar with 4-H and their programs, check out some of ways they are helping to inspire and engage kids and teens interested in science and technology.
The Circuit Playground Express Base kit can be used to make a number of exciting projects (check out our learn guide section here).We are always working up new ways to use this kit, and one project we thought our friends at 4-H would find super useful is our Soil Moisture Sensor with Circuit Playground Express and Makecode learn guide. With the addition of a few Small Alligator clips, all parts used in this project are found in The Circuit Playground Express Base Kit. In a few easy steps you’ll have yourself a handy soil moisture sensor that’ll let you know when to water your plants!
The Circuit Playground Express Base Kit is just some of the great stuff sold on the 4-H website. Head over to check it out along with some other great products and resources.
